< Psalms 52 >
1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.
To the choirmaster a poem of David. When came - Doeg the Edomite and he told to Saul and he said to him he has gone David to [the] house of Ahimelech. Why? do you boast in evil O mighty [man] [the] covenant loyalty of God [is] all the day.
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.
You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling-place, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Also God he will tear down you to perpetuity he will snatch up you and he will tear away you from a tent and he will root up you from [the] land of living [people] (Selah)
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.
7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.
There! the man [who] not he made God refuge his and he trusted in [the] greatness of rich[es] his he was strong in destruction his.
8 But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
And I - [am] like an olive tree luxuriant in [the] house of God I trust in [the] covenant loyalty of God forever and ever.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
I will give thanks to you for ever for you have acted and I may wait for name your for [it is] good before faithful [people] your.
